The dash lights on my 300SD are significantly brighter than on my 300D. Maybe a PO installed overwattage bulbs??
IIRC the 116 and 107 share a dash pod. The lighting is direct in them, whereas in the 123 there are plastic light pipes from bulbs in the back. If you screw up and put in overwattage bulbs on a 123 you will melt the light pipe ends, and the lighting will go _down_! Either change to some kind of ultra-bright LED's to fill the pipes, or line things with shiny aluminum foil. (The latter is fairly easy, and cheap, and doesn't give a blue cast to the dash lighting.) -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
